In this 12-disc anthology, three of literature's greatest deductive minds confront 18 of their most confounding cases. Agatha Christie's Hercule Poirot, portrayed with fastidious elegance by David Suchet, ferrets out the cause of a Death on the Nile and solves The Mystery of the Blue Train, among other Christie classics. Joan Hickson received an Order of the British Empire for her portrayal of the brilliant spinster Miss Jane Marple, who untangles such riddles as the Murder at the Vicarage and The Mirror Crack'd from Side to Side. And Peter Cushing exercises Sherlock Holmes' legendary deductive skills in The Hound of the Baskervilles, A Study in Scarlet, and three other cases.
